[SCA-BMDL] OT: Sadness! John Harvard's Brewhouse in Monroeville hasclosed!

[myfanwy at nauticom.net]

Greetings from Myfanwy!
I never went to that one, but had been to the one in Framingham, MA
--ironically, we thought the food was generally better than the beer,
although some of their seasonal stuff was interesting.
Also went one time to their original location with the Carolingian
Jongleurs, after our annual "get your busker's license so we can go sing
medieval Christmas carols in the Harvard T station, and then go get hot
chocolate with the money we make".  Two things happened.  The first was
that they didn't normally *serve* hot chocolate (which made ordering
interesting).  The second was that they had a band the night we were
there, who were really annoyed with us for singing in the corner booth
while we were on break -- mostly, IIRC, because we were better than they
were and got more positive feedback from the rest of the patrons! :-)
